Emily Giffin
I'm going to keep seeing him as much as I can. We'll see what happens, I say, realizing that just seeing what happens is my version of going for it.
Emily Giffin
This time, I whispered that I loved him too. Then, I silently listed all the reason: I loved him for his gentleness. I loved him for being an amazing catch yet still vulnerable enough to be insecure. But most of all, I loved him for loving me.
Emily Giffin
I had seen the light, come to believe that a wedding should be about a feeling between two people, not a show for the masses...It was a magical, romantic evening, and although I occasionally wish I had worn a slightly fancier dress, and that Nick and I had danced on our wedding night, I have no real regrets about the way we chose to do things.
Emily Giffin
We are in love and meant to be together.

There are no absolutes in relationships. You can't take anything for granted. You can count on absolutely nothing but the unexpected. You only get in trouble when you start thinking that you're some kind of exception to the rule.
Emily Giffin
I think of how life takes unexpected twists and turns, sometimes through sheer happenstance, sometimes through calculated decisions. In the end, it can all be called fate, but to me, it is more a matter of faith.
Emily Giffin
Every couple has two stories - the edited one to be shared from the couch and the unabridged version best left alone.
Emily Giffin
I'm glad you were both here, I finally manage, thinking how strange it is to be standing with the two people who made you, something most kids take for granted every day of their lives.
Emily Giffin
Did she ever regret her choices? Were her decisions more clear-cut than mine - or are there always shades of gray whe it comes to matters of the heart?
Emily Giffin
Nothing is ever perfect. It is what you make of it.
Emily Giffin
i wish i could freeze this moment, somehow delay my final decision, and just hang here in the balance between two places, two worlds, two loves.
Emily Giffin
You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.
Emily Giffin
When I meet someone I like being with more than I like being alone, I'll marry her.
Emily Giffin
Writing a teen character is something I wanted to try again for a long time!
Emily Giffin
Sorrow comes with so many defense mechanisms. You have your shock, your denial, your getting wasted, your cracking jokes, and your religion. You also have the old standby catchall—the blind belief in fate, the whole things happening for a reason drill.
Emily Giffin
Love as a verb. Love as a commitment.
Emily Giffin
I have always been drawn to coming-of-age stories and books and movies featuring compelling young characters.
Emily Giffin
I'm very open in terms of sharing bits about my life, but I think it's very easy to get a distorted sense of who anyone is through social media.
Emily Giffin
I wondered why I was so startled by the encounter when there was something that seemed utterly inevitable about the moment. Not in any grand, destined sense just in the quiet, stubborn way that unfinished business has of imposing its will on the unwilling.
